We could do that without the nuclear war and radiation
by releasing ash or some other reflective/sunlight-filtering dust into the upper atmosphere.
I wouldn't rely on North Korean bombs riding Russian rockets to do the job either way. Might as well put your faith in fucking Trident.

I'm not sure I trust humans to do it safely.
Before they find a way of commercialise/weaponise it.

So we let the planet burn because we can't guarantee safety?
These ideas are last-ditch contingency plans *just in case* we don't manage to save the environment through political and economic cooperation (lol). We are already commercially tartaruforming/gehennahforming/hellscaping the planet. These proposals at least offer a kind of terraforming that benefits life on Earth. Surely worth a shot.

Probably worth a shot certainly.
The obscene destruction is one of the reasons I didn't breed. Sometimes it occurs to me that they deserve it.
Then I watch 'Crime pays but botany doesn't' as we are kindred spirits.
Cheer up, 99% of all species have disappeared before and still came back.
